For a full two minutes, Ye Xiaoning struggled to remove Xu Yixue's shoes; by then, Xu Yixue was drenched in sweat from the pain, and her complexion had become somewhat pale.
"Yixue, your foot injury seems quite severe," Ye Xiaoning said with some gravity.
Xu Yixue's ankle was swollen a whole size larger than usual and slightly red, throbbing with pain at the slightest movement. It was painful even to lie in bed, let alone walk, requiring careful positioning.
"Xiao Ning, how long will I need treatment before it gets better?" Xu Yixue's expression grew serious after hearing Ye Xiaoning's words.
"Yixue, your ankle injury is pretty bad. At this rate, even with hospital treatment, it would take at least a week to recover," Ye Xiaoning said worriedly.
"A week? That won't do. I have a contract to negotiate tomorrow. Our Xinghai Media is in the midst of expansion, and we already have so few clients. It was not easy to secure orders; I should definitely attend," Xu Yixue said anxiously.
